    Are they missing the SRS badges?

    Unfortunately yes

    Let me know as well. One of mine is broken and I can't get the peg to stay no matter what I use so it sags.

    That was a great buy @indyhawg. Were they as advertised?

    Yes and no. Good news is that all drivers work. SDA cable is a makeshift one or so apprears, but it gets the job done. Bad news is they were in a little worse cosmetic shape than I thought. The seller said no rips.and tears in the grill clith, but there are a couple holes and both grill cloths are ragged. However, they will clean up nicely and I am looking forward to the future upgrades I will start on soon.

    In that Chicago ad they have a major tow-in going on both sides. I don't know if they knew the rules, logistics or set up like that for the sale. Am I right here on this one. One learns a lot here on the forum especially on the C/L for sale site postings.

    Just so everyone knows they are 2.3TL's. If you are close grab those, they don't come around very often.

    Once again, too far from me. Those 2.3tl's would be in the back of my Explorer right now if they were not two thousand miles away. Akron? Isn't that the home of Goodyear Tires?

    At one time B. F. Goodrich, Firestone, General and Goodyear all were based there. Goodyear is the only one left I believe.

    I have been so tempted to pick these up in the past couple of weeks. One could say that I had been hording the knowledge of this add. But knowing that I don't have a big enough space or enough power to properly enjoy these speakers, to me would be the ultimate crime. If anyone between Asheville and Charlotte has the means to pick these up let me know and I'll bring the beers (and some tunes).
